COIN @ MGM Music Hall at Fenway- Sunday October 27 with Aidan Bissett
Let’s hope you’re not afraid to go to concerts anymore! Because COIN is coming to town in support of their fifth studio album I’m Not Afraid Of Music Anymore, and it is sure to be an exciting show. Catch the indie rock pioneers being unapologetically themselves on stage, performing just a glimpse of the top hits they have produced over the last ten years. They’re just three best friends, ready to take on the world and face their fears. So, how about we cut them a little “Slack” and go “Along For The Ride” at MGM Music Hall at Fenway on October 27?
Supporting COIN for their North American tour is American singer-songwriter Aiden Bissett. His jump to popularity arose from TikTok and various social media platforms in 2020, but his reach extends far beyond in the year 2024. From his first big hit “More Than Friends” to his recent EP Supernova, Bissett is showing his form as a well rounded performing artist with a rapidly growing following.

André 3000 @ Wang Theatre- Wednesday October 30 with serpentwithfeet
André 3000 is back! But not with the same music that has given him his fame over the past decade; no, this time he brings his melodic and spiritual flute play with him! After his release of New Blue Sun last year, André has truly stuck to playing the flute and bringing a peaceful aura to all of his concerts. His new sound invites the listener to meditate or reflect on their day whilst taking them on a spiritual journey. Though this may at the time have seemed like a weird twist for André he has since proven that this is something which he wholeheartedly is committed to giving us his best in.
Along with André 3000 is serpentwithfeet, a hip-hop artist who uses his music as an outlet to express his own internal feelings of the intersection of his identity being black and gay. This concert is one that promises to be truly a spiritual experience, so be sure to check it out on October 30th at Wang Theatre!
